As I begin to create concepts for my photography, I find myself driven by my emotional state at that time. In my opinion that is when I create some of my best work. Recently I have been almost like a zombie with school, work, parenting and even as a friend. I am not sure why things are hitting me all at once but I have accepted it and begin to approach photograph as my therapy. Trust me when I say that I have a ton of series that I begin and never finish and it is because I am over that emotion. Now I am finding myself just creating and have taught myself that things does not always have to be about a series. One image is enough, or shall I say that one image can relay the message that I am intending to make. For my Photo Criticism course we were to create images with two different concepts. That day I was running on empty and I knew that I had to do the assignment but I just wanted to sit down and finish watching my television show The Leftovers. Once it was over I thought about using that show as inspiration. Just like that it all came together!
